"What level had I reached now?"
Gu Shen stroked his chin and pondered slowly.
"That's hard to answer... after all, I hadn't fought any enemies in the Real World yet."
That previous God War had taken place within the Mental World.
But it already counted as a battle between gods!
Gu Shen's Mental Sea was already capable of contending with the devil without falling behind... Judging from that God War alone, it was actually difficult to estimate Gu Shen's true combat strength. But one thing was certain: the scale of Gu Shen's Mental Sea was beyond anything any fourth-tier could compare to.
It was simply far, far too difficult for someone in the Third Transcendent Realm to advance to the fourth tier.
The revival of the Ice Sea was already a miracle!
"What if we use the Deep Water Zone Trial to assess you?" Chu Ling's eyes shone brightly. "Do you want to give it a try?"
The Deep Water Zone Trial had twelve levels in total!
This was also an important basis modern Transcendents used to classify their strength.
But even before Deep Sea established those so-called twelve levels, differences in Transcendent strength had always existed.
Aside from when he had just "Awakened," Gu Shen had been accustomed to connecting to the Deep Water Zone network for cultivation.
For most of the time afterward, he had relied on meditation to advance his cultivation. This was the Penetration Cultivation Method Gu Nanfeng had taught him, and it was how most local Transcendents in North Continent cultivated.
No external assistance.
No reliance on Deep Sea.
Only then could one go farther!
"Testing my current level with the Deep Water Zone Trial?"
Gu Shen smiled. "Sure. Let's do it!"
Crack, crack. He stood and casually stretched his limbs.
